A workshop exploring what healthy placemaking means in the UK in the context of the Healthy Hospitals KTP a partnership between LMU and NUH.
This impact-focused workshop will bring together researchers, designers, clinicians, and policymakers to explore how our urban environments, particularly in healthcare, shape experiences of care , and how design can better support health, dignity, and collaboration – looking at case studies from the UK.
The event is part of the Healthy Hospitals Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between London Metropolitan University and Newham University Hospital, which is embedding an urban designer and strategist into the hospital to co-design and deliver healthy placemaking across its 13ha site. If you’d like to know more about theis KTP, this is also the workshop for you.
The workshop will feature short presentations from invited experts, followed by discussion and audience dialogue. The aim is to share practical insights from current projects in health and placemaking, to reflect on the role of spatial design, and to build collaborations for future research and impact.
